Re: Sum of a geometric series
[ QUOTE ]
Find the sum (s) of a geometric series for which A1=48, An=3, and r=-1/2 Now, the formula is s = A1/1-r, so 48/1.5 = 32 is what I get. However, the choices are – 99, 33, 99, or 15 Why does the formula not use An and should I chose 33 since it is the closest? I am lost. [/ QUOTE ] 48 + (-24) + 12 + (-6) + 3 = 33. |
